Title: Retractable blade knife
IPC: B26B5/00
Filed: 1987-11-12
Abstract: A retractable blade knife having a self-sharpening facility which can be selectively rendered inoperable. The sharpener is spring biased in an upward direction so as to be urged into engagement with the cutting edge of a knife blade, and manually operable release means is provided to permit the sharpener to be held in an inoperable position. An assembly of which the sharpener forms part also functions as stop means which positively prevents movement of the knife blade into its extended position.

Patent ZA-946327-B (ZA)
Title: Cosmetic melanins
Inventor: PAWELEK JOHN M
IPC: G01N33/00
Filed: 1994-08-19
Abstract: Synthetic melanins suitable for cosmetic uses are produced through oxidative polymerization of monomeric precursors that possess aromatic rings with ionizeable side groups. Agents that enhance adherence of the melanins to skin and hair are co-polymerized with the precursors to become part of the melanin molecules. Potential new precursors and adherence-enhancing agents are screened for efficacy by subjecting them to six separate synthetic procedures, and testing the resulting melanins for color, ultraviolet absorbance charcteristics, and substantivity (adherence) to skin and hair. Melanins of different colors can be blended together in cosmetic creams and lotions to complement the natural skin, eye, and hair colors of an individual. The synthetic procedures are amendable to industrial-scale production of cosmetic melanins. The materials reduce the incidence of solar damage to the skin.
Patent ZA-948427-B (ZA)
Title: Method and apparatus for the transmission of variable rate digital data
Inventor: ZEHAVI EPHRAIM
IPC: H04N1/56
Filed: 1994-10-26
Abstract: A communication system for transmitting variable rate data is disclosed wherein redundancy is added to the variable rate data to provide repetition symbols. The repetition symbol data is transmitted with symbol energy scaled in accordance to the rate of the variable rate data when the variable rate data is greater than or equal to a nominal data rate. When the variable rate data is less than the nominal data rate, the symbol data is transmitted at nominal symbol energy and redundancy is removed by transmission gating of a proportion of the transmission symbol data determined in accordance with the rate of the variable rate data. Furthermore, a receiver for receiving the variable rate data is disclosed which uses the redundancy in the transmitted data symbol stream to make a corrected estimate of the transmitted symbol data.

Title: Positioner device
Inventor: DIXON MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: G12B5/00
Filed: 2004-02-20
Granted: 2006-01-04
Abstract: A positioner (2) for moving a sample platform (6) relative to a base (4) is described. The positioner is driven by a piezoelectric arranged to expand and contract along a drive axis, the piezoelectric element has an input end coupled to the base and an output end coupled to first (14) and second (16) output levers extending away from the drive axis of the piezoelectric element in opposing directions. The output levers each have an inner arm arranged to be acted on by the piezoelectric element as it expands and an outer arm to which the sample platform is mounted via platform supports (26, 28). The output levers are mounted such that the piezoelectric element acts on the inner arms of the output levers to cause the outer arms to move in a plane containing the drive axis. This motion of the output levers is communicated via the platform supports to the sample platform, so moving it relative to the base along a direction parallel to the drive axis.

Patent GB-2095882-B (GB)
Title: Continuous speech recognizer
IPC: G10L15/12
Filed: 1982-03-24
Granted: 1985-06-19
Abstract: This speech recognizer concatenates a string of reference isolated-words for comparison with the unknown string of connected-words. The invention includes a level-building (LB) algorithm, "level" implying a location in a sequence of words. A constrained endpoint dynamic-time-warp algorithm, in which the slope of the warping function is restricted between 1/2 and 2, is used to find the best alignment between an unknown continuous-word test pattern, and a concatenated sequence of L reference patterns. Properties of the LB algorithm include: modification of the references; back-track decision logic; heuristic selection of multiple candidates, and syntax constraints. As a result, the processing required is less than two-level dynamic-program-matching and sampling algorithms.

Title: Flexible sheet material suitable for shoe uppers
Inventor: LANGLEY ROBERT WILLIAM GEORGE
IPC: B32B9/04
Filed: 1985-02-01
Granted: 1989-02-01
Abstract: A laminated material is provided, especially for shoe uppers consisting of an inner layer of tanned and dyed real leather and an outer layer of a mouldable plastics material, such as polyvinylchloride, capable of simulating leather in appearance, the plastics material layer itself being a composite of a compact dense outer skin and an inner layer of blown expanded foam. The plastics material layer can have an acrylic coating to prevent migration of the plasticisers. Such laminated material can be cut to the shape of a shoe upper, with flow-moulding of the plastics layer to give it a leather appearance and simulate lines of stitching, and the result is an upper which gives the smell and foot comfort and feel of leather combined with the toughness and resistance to water penetration of the plastics material.

Title: Data communication system and method therefor
Inventor: IWATA SHINICHIRO
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1997-07-31
Granted: 2000-11-15
Abstract: A data communication system comprises a transmitter for transmitting a fixed-length block of information, and a receiver for receiving the block. The fixed length block includes a plurality of sub-blocks, each having a variable length depending upon the data. When an amount of transmission data has a size less than that of the fixed-length data block the transmitter repeatedly arranges the information within the same fixed-length block in order to form the block. Thus the unused portion of the fixed-length block is effectively utilized to increase the reliability of the data communication. Additionally, error check codes may be stored within the data area to further increase reliability.
